The Delaware Normal School.

A bill has been introduced into
the House of Representatives at
Dover, by Representative VIM. F.
Smalley of New Castle County, to
establish State Normal School for
the training of teachers.
The second section of the bill
locates the school in the Academy
OF Newark on condition that the
trustees of that institution shall pro-
vide and maintain competent
Principal and faculty of instruction.
furnish the necessary apparatus and
specimens to illustrate the physical
and other sciences and give free use
also of libraries, buildings and
grounds.
The school is to receive no appro-
priation from the State, but free
scholarships, not exceeding twenty
IN each county, may be provided for
deserving and competent young
ladies and gentlemen DESTROYS of
preparing themselves for teaching.
Those receiving free tuition, which
is to be paid for by the State at an
expense of not more than one dollar
week, are required to teach in the
public schools of the State as many
months as they receive tuition in the
school. Graduates of the school who
have received free tuition are requir-
ed to sign pledge that they will
teach two full annual tern, bao,

the school. The State will not have
any pecuniary risk whatever, nor
will it expend a dollar on the school,
unless it sees fit to furnish to linn
tied number of deserving young
ladies and gentlemen free tuition as
prospective teachers and these are to
be selected by competitive examina-
ton.
We think the bill is remarkably
favorable to the State, for the insti
tuition could not be located any
where else without the expenditure
of thousands of dollars for buildings,
apparatus, grounds, etc, or thou
sands of dollars annually to support
a special faculty, or both, neither Of

THE Legislature of Delaware ought
not to hesitate Il moment in chang
ing the law in regard to our pubic
school. At one time the money
allowed by the State was sufficient
to pay the teachers, but as an in
crease attendance of pupils demand
ed another instructor, the amount
collected and set aside for free public
school purpose is not sufficient, and
what is needed now is the privilege,
which must be granted by the
State--of securing 81 800 instead of
81 LOCO. The petition of remonstrance
must have been gotten up and sign
ed by those who do not fully under
stand the reason the School Com
missioners demand 81 800. The idea
of great of many was that by this
increased amount for school purpose,
will increase the rate of taxation.
Not at all. The School Board have
been paying off a mortgage and pay
ing interest on loaned money, by
which the school building was erect
ed. The rate of taxation is no0
s1.25 on the 500, and we are in
formed that the rate for the next
year will be ten or twelve cents less.
Why? you naturally ask. Because
part of the school debt has been
paid, and, therefore. it is hardly
probable that the Commissioner,
will need this 81 800, but they ask
it, in case Of emergency. We are
sorry to see that some of our citizens
are thus opposed to our free school,
As to demonstrate against paying
anything more toward free educa
ton. We hope the Legislature will
make the proposed amendment, a
asked, as it is needful and also keep
in our public school a corps of Elf
cient and painstaking teachers.

FRESH FASHION NOTES.

Some Of Which are Perhaps q Little too
Fresh.
Ladies hats are now large enough to be
seen with the naked eye.
Pelerinese trimmed with beaded epauletts
and bugles are popular. The pelerines should
not be killed before they are six weeks old,
as they are tough before that age.
The upright jabot is coming to the front of
the hat.
Mikado reed and bead portieres grow more
in favor than ever. They should, however,
never be used for trimming MORE Francois
gowns.
Ostrich tips are becoming numerous again,
but the old style silver quarter is in as much
demand as ever in most restaurants.
Trained gowns are reserved for dinners of
high ceremony. If trained properly, they
can be made very useful on these occasions.
Handkerchief are now made of tiny squares
of batiste or foulard, cut low in the neck,
and trimmed with MORE antique.
Summer pattern dresses are provided with
parasol, fan, and beau to match.
Bonnets of tulle cut bias are embroidered
with straw and provided with sleeves a la

1t is ridiculous to think of it as the sea-

cow from which milk is drawn and sold
by the glass; here is great rink for
roller skating, and of the two great iron
piers one is used as restaurant and the
other as bathing establishment, in
addition to their uses as landing places
for steamboats,. High above everything
else is a towering framework of iron,
brought from the Centennial and used as
an observatory. Close to it is an enor-
nous restaurant, something like the
Atlantic Garden in New York, with
potted flowers and plants and band of
musicians, but filled with tables and
diners and walters. Overhead is hotel.
Hotels and restaurants and bands of

NV meaning is that if the corners of the
